Shape a product that keeps our digital world awake

We’re on a mission to make downtime invisible. Thousands of DevOps and IT teams - from scale-ups to enterprises - use our incident-management platform 24/7 to react faster and communicate outages clearly. As our first dedicated product designer, you’ll own the end-to-end user experience across web and mobile, turning complex, high-stakes workflows into delightfully simple interactions.

Tasks

1. Discover & define
2. Talk to users, dig into metrics and run usability tests to uncover real pains
3. Frame scenarios and success metrics that matter (MTTR, alert fatigue, NPS)
4. Design & develop
5. Craft low- to high-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes in your preferred tool
6. Evolve and govern ilert’s cross-platform design system (Web + Mobile)
7. Balance clarity and density in data-rich dashboards and timeline views
8. Deliver & iterate
9. Hand off pixel-perfect specs and pair with engineers in GitHub & Storybook
10. Validate releases with A / B tests and continuous user feedback loops
11. Champion accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) and performance best practices

Requirements

• 3+ years designing production SaaS interfaces end-to-end
• Portfolio that proves user-centric thinking, visual craft and shipped impact
• Mastery of Figma (auto-layout, variants, tokens) and basic motion / animation
• Hands-on with design systems, component libraries and responsive layouts
• Fluency in English (our working language); German is a bonus
• Solid grasp of HTML / CSS limits and possibilities - enough to speak dev

Bonus points

• Designed for technical audiences (DevOps, SRE, cloud engineers)
• Ran quantitative research (surveys, funnel analytics) or A / B experiments
• Experience with real-time data products

Benefits

• Product-centric - 100% focused on solving a mission-critical pain felt by every always-on business
• Hybrid freedom - 2 days remote by default; gorgeous Rheinauhafen roof terrace when you’re in town
• Meetings - We time-box syncs, favour async docs and protect maker time
• 28 days off - plus public holidays
• Commute perks - subsidised public transport
